We use words to express and even just understand ourselves what we've been through. Since we need words to also comprehend how we feel, words could also be a limitation when it comes to understanding our experiences. For example, sometimes experiences leave us with feelings we can't explain or "can't put into words" an although the experience is still significant regardless of whether or not it can be expressed in words, there's still something missing from the picture. This is what Huxley meant when he said "words form the thread on which we string our experiences". Words can mold our understanding of our experiences, which makes them a part of the core of our experiences. ]]> 2016-10-31 00:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120729 PLEASE START WORKING AND KEEP THE NOISE DOWN!!!!!!! damion_walker https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120733 2016-10-31 00:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120733 To what extent do objective words exist https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120858 Objective words exist to a small extent. Almost every single word in the English language has a connotation. Words with the same denotations could have different, underlying connotations. For example, "juvenile" and "youthful" have the same denotation, but the meaning is very different. Youthful has a very positive connotation, while juvenile has a negative connotation. Each word has its own almost-hidden meaning. Humans associate their own experiences with words. Every word is linked to certain experiences and every person can interpret each word differently. Objectivity is almost nonexistent when it comes to language. However, there are a number of words that stay neutral or true to their denotation. ]]> 2016-10-31 00:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120858 https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120940 The different functions of language is a method of communicating information, expression of feelings and emotions, and directing action. ]]> 2016-10-31 00:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120940 https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120962 All words are subjective.

This is due to how humans learn languages based on personal experiences. Also, most definition of objective words are linked to subjective words. Making some objective words subjective and a very small amount of objective words neutral. ]]> 2016-10-31 00:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134120975 https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134121061  
Each of us experiences different feelings even when we all go through the same thing, and when we retell our experience, we phrase our thoughts, feelings, actions differently. When we describe an experience a certain way, our memory of that experience stays that same way, or changes in a way that is most similar to how we describe it. Even when we cannot perfectly describe an incredible experience, we try to find words--larger fancier words--to try to make it sound equally amazing to the listeners.

There are words specifically used in more matter-of-fact and factual contexts, and they could arguably more objective. For example, I consider words like 'big' to have fewer connotations than 'magnanimous'. Also, the language used will effect the extent to which its words can be objective. On the other hand, it can be argued that words themselves only have connotations based in the context of the sentences they're used in. So the words themselves have little objectivity or subjectivity, but its the way a text is formatted, structured, its content, what it does not say, and the more stylistic devices that are used.]]> 2016-10-31 00:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134121410 https://padlet.com/damion_walker/y12/wish/134121458 Language is as a medium of communication.
